Thanks to all the wonderful Dion fans and other supporters who made the fundraising campaign for the forthcoming album a success. It was down to the wire—minutes to go—when certain somniloquy aficionados and aficionadas outdid their own generosity and saved the day (a dramatic rescue the likes of which have not been seen since the staying of the guillotine blade in DW Griffith’s Orphans of the Storm).

The release of Dreaming Like Mad with Dion McGregor is slated for late May.

As we approach the release of Dreaming Like Mad with Dion McGregor, all the attention’s been on the great somniloquist. So I thought I’d put some focus back on the other great TVR recording artist, Samuel Andreyev. Here are some (mostly remixed and all remastered) tracks from the 2004 compilation Regions Reach. (Above is the cover art of Samuel’s 2002 album Songs of Elsewhere, by the great Richard A. Kirk: http://www.richardakirk.com/)

The awareness/fundraising campaign for the forthcoming Dreaming Like Mad with Dion McGregor album got a boost from Whitney Matheson in her USAtoday.com column Pop Candy, and tracks from the new album will soon be featured on the NPR program All Things Considered.
